What are you supposed to do with a toyol? Make a wish? Does it
grow or morph into something at some stage?
extract from wiki:
People normally associate the appearance of a toyol with that of
a small baby, frequently that of a newly born baby walking in
nakedness with a big head, small hands, clouded eyes and usually
greyed skin. More accurately, it resembles a goblin. It can be
seen by the naked eye without the use of magic, though they are
unlikely to be spotted casually.
In old village tales, people keep toyols for selfish
but petty gains. They use such spirits for theft, sabotage and
other minor crimes. Serious crimes, like murder, are usually beyond
the capability of these toyols. A person who suddenly
becomes wealthy without explanation might be suspected of keeping a
toyol. The toyol is kept in a jar or an urn, and
hidden away in a dark place until needed.
What happens at the end of the "contract" is not very clear. It
could be that the tablet, along with the urn, is buried in a
graveyard (with the relevant rituals), and the spirit is then laid
to rest. An alternative method is to dispose them in the sea. Or
else, a toyol gets passed down in a family through the
generations. This seems to suggest that once you obtain a
toyol, not only are you stuck with it for the rest of your
life, but all your descendants will also be condemned to own
it.
